I found this punch here on Pinterest and it's from a lady that says she is the punch queen - lol! She was very convincing that her punch is THE punch to serve at parties. So my mom and I decided to mix it up for our New Year's Eve party. We also just recently had it at my cousins baby shower. It is REALLY good!! But the lady is rather particular about how to assemble the punch so read the whole thing before you start.

The Punch
Ingredients:1 can frozen pina colada concentrate, thawed (Bacardi makes a good one)1 can frozen orange pineapple juice concentrate, thawed4 liters of diet lemon-lime soda (That’s two 2-Liters for the mathematically challenged.)1 bag of pebble ice (You can buy it at Sonic Drive-In or at most grocery stores in the deli or meat departments.)1 bag of frozen raspberries
And now for the directions:*Pour the thawed concentrates into your punchbowl and stir.*Use one of the empty cans and fill it with water four times and add it to the mixture. Stir.*Add your diet soda to the mixture. (You can use regular sugar-filled soda if you want, but I think it gets too sweet and you will also feel guilty when you fill your glass for the sixteenth time. Which you WILL.)*Next, add about half your bag of pebble ice.(NOTE: Please do not insult The Punch by using crappy ice cubes from your freezer. The Punch will hate you forever.) (ANOTHER NOTE: Please do not screw up the order and add the ice before the soda. You will get an ugly foam at the top of your punch bowl.) (ONE MORE NOTE: I’m sorry if it seems like I’m micro-managing this recipe. It’s just that I have already suffered bad punch experiences so that you won’t have to. I micro-manage because I care.) Let’s see….where were we? Oh, yes. We’re ready for the crowning ingredient…*Add your frozen raspberries to the top.
ENJOY!!
